Subtract. Write your answer in simplest form.

5 3/4 - 2 11/12

2 5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

first we want to find the most common denominator which is 12

so we do 4x3=12 and whatever we do to the bottom we have to do to the top to and 3x3=9 so the new equation is

5  9/12  - 2 11/12

you cant take away 9 from 11 so you take 1 from 5 and add 12 to 9 so now we have

4  21/12 - 2 11/12

21-11=10 and 4-2=2

now we have 2  10/12 but we have to simplify. the most common denominator is 2 so we divide the top and bottom by 2 and get a final answer of

2   5/6
